Courgette Pancakes (Gluten Free)
These gluten free courgette pancakes are savoury pancakes, very similar to courgette fritters or vegetable patties. They are really easy to make, sneak in a bit of extra veg, and are very versatile.
Ingredients
- 1 medium courgette grated
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 70 g oats approx 3 tbsp
- 45 ml milk (3 tbsp) any type
- 1 egg
- 1 pinch pepper
- 1 pinch grated nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
- Put the grated courgette in a sieve or colander and place in the sink or over a bowl. Sprinkle over the salt and leave for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, blitz together the oats, milk, seasoning and egg in a blender or food processor. The mixture will be thick and smooth, as the oats will break down into flour.
- Squeeze the liquid out of the courgettes. Continue until no more liquid oozes out. Discard the liquid and add the courgettes to the pancake mixture. Stir together.
- Heat a frying pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil. Place tablespoonfuls of the pancake mixture in the hot pan and fry for 2-3 minutes until browned. Turn with a spatula and cook on the other side.
Notes
- Optional ingredients: a handful of chopped soft herbs such as basil or chives. You can also add a handful of grated cheddar for a cheesy courgette pancake.
- When frying the pancakes, leave enough space so that you can turn them. If necessary, cook in 2 batches.
